Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare sarcomatous tumor arising from pericytes, a support cell found in blood vessels. These tumors can occur throughout the body, particularly in the lower extremities and retroperitoneum. In rare circumstances, HPCs can arise from the meninges. In these cases, they
To help clinicians identify and treat patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) resulting from a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, mixed connective tissue variant (PMTMCT).Describe the history, presentation, laboratory findings, diagnostic studies, Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumoral production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). The hallmark biochemical features include hypophosphatemia due to renal phosphate wasting, inappropriately normal or frankly low 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, and
The homeostasis of the plasma phosphate level is essential for many biological processes including skeletal mineralization. The reabsorption of phosphate in the kidney is a major determinant of the plasma levels of phosphate. Phosphatonin is a hormone-like factor that specifically inhibits phosphate
Postoperative bone loss and increased fracture risk associated with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have been attributed to vitamin D/calcium malabsorption and resultant secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Adequate vitamin D supplementation (VDS), particularly in an older female population, reduces
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is responsible for phosphate wasting and the phenotypic changes observed in human diseases such as X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Targeted overexpression of nuclear high-molecular weight fibroblast growth factor 2 isoforms (HMW isoforms) in osteoblasts resulted
BACKGROUND
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23 is produced primarily in bone and acts on kidney as a systemic phosphaturic factor; high levels result in rickets and osteomalacia. However, it remains unclear whether FGF23 acts locally and directly on bone formation.
METHODS
We overexpressed human FGF23
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours (PMTs) are uncommon soft tissue and bone tumours that typically cause hypophosphataemia and tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) through secretion of phosphatonins including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). PMT has recently been accepted by the World Health
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) regulatory axis is phylogenetically ancient, evolving into a large mammalian/human gene family of 22 ligands that bind to four receptor tyrosine kinases for a complex physiologic system controlling cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. The tissue targets
